ABOUT

Business Broker Spain over the years has become one of the largest business brokers in Spain. Founded by Nigel Fitzpatrick and Mervyn Hughes in 2011 after re-branding from being associated with a large business transfer agency based in the UK. Nigel initially worked the Costa Blanca area of Spain and Mervyn the Costa del Sol and the logical step was to amalgamate these areas and join forces to grow the brand. Through sheer hard work, determination and tenacity we rode the recession of the early 2000's to develop other areas of Spain where Business Broker could thrive.

NIGEL FITZPATRICK

DIRECTOR

As mentioned previously, Nigel is Director of the company and founder. Nigel has lived in Spain for the last 16 years, married with a daughter that was born here. His background is varied, worked in Australia at the age of 20, he owned a very successful bar/restaurant in the UK at the age of 22. After selling this he was ready for his next challenge and joined the family hotel business and eventually ran the business and sold it in 2003.

Business is in his veins, and he is passionate about success and the brand he has helped to create. Another passion is rugby having played in the UK and Spain, also coached in Spain but injuries and old age has finally caught up!
